Jimmy Fallon has arranged a star-studded line-up of interviewees for his first episode of The Tonight Show but the audience isn't too shabby either.
With Will Smith and U2 appearing on the show, celebrities including Lindsay Lohan, Lady Gaga and Mariah Carey will all be in the studio for the taping.
Although her star power has plummeted considerably over the past few years, ensuring there is no way she would be considered for one of the coveted first guest slots, Lohan looked thrilled as she arrived at the studio.
With her long red hair loose around her face, Lindsay, 27, smiled happily while being driven to the New York taping.
Gaga, will be the special musical car on Tuesday and it is likely she was checking out what is in store for her before her appearance.
Wearing sunglasses and a strappy top, with her long hair loose, Gaga made her way to the first taping while a scantily clad Mariah was also spotted on her way to check out the first show.
Jimmy finished his five-year fun on Late Night just over a week ago and has now taken over from Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.
The venerable NBC institution returns to New York, reclaiming Rockefeller Center's Studio 6B, where Tonight aired during its early Johnny Carson years, after four decades based on the West Coast.
39-year-old Fallon first found stardom as a cast member and Weekend Update co-anchor on Saturday Night Live.
He left SNL in 2004 to pursue a movie career, but after Taxi with Queen Latifah failed to become a hit he turned to the chat show format.
Despite the excitement surrounding his new Tonight stint (much of it expressed by Fallon himself), he has also emphasised that Tonight under his regime won't be notably different from the show his Late Night had evolved into.
Although airing an hour earlier than Late Night, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will feature many of the same comic bits, the same house band, the Roots, and announcer-sidekick Steve Higgins.
Filling the vacancy left by Fallon at Late Night will be fellow SNL alum Seth Meyers, who signs on as host next Monday, with Fred Armisen, yet another former SNL-er, as band leader.
